Commissioned by the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau, and organised by the Federation, the Scheme aims at enhancing local university students’ understanding of the monetary systems and financial markets of both the Mainland and Hong Kong. The participants learnt about the business culture and practices of financial markets in the Mainland through work attachment and visits to government bodies and regulators. This year, 26 nominated students from nine universities travelled to Shanghai from 9 June to 19 July 2014. They were assigned a four-week attachment in 14 different Shanghai enterprises. The launching ceremony was held on 5 June with Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Professor the Hon. K.C. Chan, GBS, JP, as the Guest of Honour.
